Another May Update!

Dear OGIers,

I am happy to report that a large update was added to the database today.  2,800 items to be exact bringing the current total to 440,197.  The majority of the updates are from the county of Sussex thanks to new collections released by Ancestry last week.   The coverage for this county is now extensive and expanded into the 1900s further than every before.  I even found some burials records up to 2015 (despite the Ancestry collection label stating up to 1995).

For those of you with Herefordshire ancestry, Findmypast has expanded their Herefordshire Marriages collection and added thousands of new records also.

Here is today's update in detail:

• Cornwall OPC Database (105 new data sets)
• Findmypast Herefordshire Marriages (450 new data sets covering multiple counties)
• Ancestry Sussex Parish Registers (2,236 data sets)
• Gravestone Photos (9 new data sets)

My maternal ancestry was in Sussex (Walberton to be exact) for many generations so I am looking forward to finding the christenings of the more recent ancestors now that many records in the 1900s are now available.

Off to hospital for a lovely 3 day stay (it is not that lovely) and then another 2-3 weeks of recovery before the next visit.  I will continue to look for new resources and upload them in a timely fashion as my health and energy allow.

Thanks for your support and use of the site.

Until the next update,
